Mets Weigh Bringing Back Frankie Montas After Rough Rehab Start

Manager Carlos Mendoza will meet with Montas before Sunday’s deadline to decide if he can assume the rotation spot left vacant after Kodai Senga suffered a hamstring strain followed by Tylor Megill’s elbow injury.

Overview

  • Frankie Montas has posted a 12.05 ERA and 2.14 WHIP in six rehab appearances with Triple-A Syracuse.
  • In his sixth outing on June 18, Montas allowed five earned runs on seven hits with one walk and two strikeouts over five innings.
  • The Mets face a Sunday deadline to either activate Montas in the major league rotation, shift him to the bullpen, or restart his rehab assignment.
  • Kodai Senga’s hamstring strain and Tylor Megill’s elbow issue have left New York searching for a dependable fifth starter.
  • If Montas remains sidelined, the club could call on spot starters such as Justin Hagenman or Blade Tidwell from the 40-man roster.
